A Cluttered House, is the sign of a cluttered Mind.

Why is organizing your things around the house to make life easier such a challenge?  Maybe it’s because you don’t want to face the clutter and chaos you’ve left piled up.  There is some truth to the phrase – A Cluttered House, is the sign of a cluttered Mind.

The storage & organization experts at Ziploc Space Bag have developed some tips to help simplify your home.

New ‘Cube’ Vacuum Seal Bags For Home Storage

Ziploc Space Bag, the leader in innovative, space-saving storage products, has developed a New vacuum-seal storage bag that helps reduce all the clutter that preys through your home.

The Next Generation of vacuum-seal compressible bags, the Ziploc Space Bag Cube, has become an essential accessory for home organizers around the world.  Similar to the Ziploc Space Bag, The Cube compresses and protects your bulky items when not in use.  And the newly designed gusseted space saver bag, offers 25% more Storage Capacity.  Once packed, simply slide the airtight/watertight zipper closed, and remove air thru the patented one-way value using any ordinary home vacuum cleaner.


The Ziploc Space Bag Cube can store up to 4x more in each bag than traditional plastic bins or boxes.   Imagine, now you can save storage space and store in places were you’d never feel safe to store before—garages, basement and attics because your items stay protected from dirt, moisture, and bugs.



Bedroom Closets

Do you run around your home every morning getting dressed from multiple closets?  Pushing aside clothing that is front and center, yet never get’s worn?  Here is a tip on transforming your closet, so you can gain more storage space and have access to those blouses, pants, and shirts that you wear more frequently during that particular season.

The first step to any closet overhaul is to remove everything!  Emptying out a closet allows you to see what space you have to work with.  While removing items, start separating by Season – winter vs. summer wear.

You can begin to store all your winter items, like sweaters, ski coats, pants, bulky comforters into the Ziploc Space Bag compressible Cube, so you have more room for your spring and summer clothing.  And they’re reusable so use them over and over again.

*Interesting Fact: When it comes to our wardrobes, most of us wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time.  Leaving a lot of clothes just hanging around the closet.   And if you’re working with a small  closet, those garments are taking up some prime real estate!

Ziploc Space Bag’s New storage Cubes are perfect for organization, because they’re see-through so you can easily identify and locate your stored items with ease.  You can even place an index card in plain view on the inside of the bag, categorizing each packed article.

Once you’ve simplified your closet, by transforming unused seasonal items into vacuum-seal Cubes, you’ll have so much closet space available; it will feel like you extended your closets.

Garage, Basement, and Attic

When finished maximizing closet space, don’t place the Cube bags back in the closet, store them out of the way – like the garage, attic, or basement.  Unlike boxes and bins, Ziploc Space Bag vacuum seal bags are airtight & waterproof, so your items stay protected from bugs, dust, moths, mildew and musty odors.   And their square shaped bottom easily stacks or fits on garage shelves.  Now bulky comforters and sweaters are dramatically compressed and able to be stored in places you never felt were safe.

*Tip:  Empty suitcases sitting in garages and attics are perfect for storing Ziploc Space Bag storage bags.  Place extra items in the Cube, vacuum out the air and store them inside empty luggage.  Now you’ve created extra storage space.

Take Back your Bedroom & Get Organized!

Do you have an escape? One room in your home that is all yours? Or maybe it’s an area you share, yet it’s your favorite because it’s so comfortable. Everyone needs a place to run to when they need to relax or cuddle up with a good book.
Your bedroom can be the perfect escape with just a few adjustments that won’t cost a fortune. To get started, thoroughly clean your bedroom because everything already seems greatly improved when floors are vacuumed and furniture is dusted. Coincide cleaning with laundry day so you can enjoy freshly washed linens when you lay down after all your hard work.

After cleaning, follow these tips to spruce up your room and make it your own personal retreat:

    Go green. Plants naturally enhance the air around you. Consider bamboo or orchids for a relaxing atmosphere. Green is also a soothing color to paint bedroom walls.
    Clear the clutter. It’s hard to relax when you know you should be cleaning. The space under your bed can be used to store items you don’t need to be readily accessible. Consider the Ziploc Space Bag High Capacity Tote, which is perfect for under the bed and allows you to store more stuff in less space.
    Get comfy. Have a drawer dedicated to your favorite “comfy clothes.” Baggy sweatpants and your favorite T-shirt work well. Hang a cozy bathrobe where you can easily grab it on your way to the shower, and make sure there’s always a soft blanket nearby for those times when you just want to cuddle up.
    A few of your favorite things. Surround yourself with the people you love by hanging photos with their smiling faces. Love the smell of lavender? Keep a candle or diffuser on the nightstand to give your room a pleasant aroma. The key is to keep things around that give you a little bit of joy every time you walk into the room.

    Make it modern. Basic colors like black and white never go out of style. Throw splashes of color around the room with the plants, picture frames, pillows and maybe a blanket or two. If you like to be seasonal with your decorations, use an extra-large Ziploc Space Bag  to store throw pillows and blankets when not in use.
